It's been a busy day for the yet to be launched 5th Gen Camaro

First of all the official fuel consumption figures have been released :

The V6 gets 18 MPG city, 29 MPG highway. The V8 gets 16 city, 24 highway.

Just what GM needs

Oh in case your wondering the Mustang gets :

V8 (GT): 16 MPG City, 24 MPG Hwy

V6: 18 MPG City, 26 MPG Hwy

and the Dodge Challenger :

V8 (SRT8): 13 MPG City, 18 MPG Hwy

V6: 17 MPG City, 25 MPG Hwy


And secondly ( my English Teacher used to slap me for starting a sentence with "and"  ) the final production version has officially lapped the Nurburgring in 8 mins & 19 secs

Compared to other GM cars :

Pontiac G8 GXP( aka Vauxhall VXR8 ) Around The Ring In: 8:30.

Cadillac CTS-V Around The Ring In: 7:59.

Corvette ZR1 Around The Ring In: 7:26

Erm, the fuel economy figures are excellent considering it's better than the its rival the Mustang?  While having a bigger more powerful engine too?

Done:



Comfortably passes the 3 Colour rule... although clear side markers would be a must.
It's the time that we kill that keeps us alive...

Interesting that spec and performance wise the SS is almost identical to the Challenger but a full $10,000 or 25% cheaper...

That 4 pot turbo Cobalt SS doesn't half haul arse though...  

They should sell that over here as a cheapish (17k?) hot hatch to add some coolness to the Chevy brand.

Was thinking the same. Like the Neon R/T (hopefully my next car) it'd be a pretty mean car to have over here. Would stick it to the ricer that think yanks can only go in straight lines..
